Nominations and applications are now open for the Financial Reporter Awards (FRAs) 2026, proudly supported by Together, with the awards returning to Manchester in June.
The Financial Reporter Brokers’ Choice Awards launched in 2009 and has been committed ever since to engaging directly with brokers across mortgages, protection and specialist lending, and celebrating the very best across the industry.
The winners of each category are decided by the Brokers’ Vote, made up of Financial Reporter’s 21,000+-strong readership, after a panel of expert judges has compiled a shortlist of standout finalists.
With 27 categories to choose from, there is something for everyone, recognising those who have gone above and beyond in mortgage advice, lending, technology, underwriting and more.
Nominations will remain open until 13th March, after which all nominees will have until 20th March to finish their applications. The finalists will be announced on 9th April, before the Brokers’ Vote opens on 20th April and runs until 15th May.
The winners will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony - following the successful return of the FRAs to Manchester last year, the celebration will be coming back to Diecast, Manchester, on 9th June.

Rozi Jones, editor of Financial Reporter, said: "We’re thrilled to be launching the Financial Reporter Awards for 2026, and to once again bring the home of industry-wide recognition back to the North with our awards ceremony in Manchester.
"These awards reflect the true voices of advisers and therefore shine a light on those making a difference and raising the bar for industry standards, helping us to drive the mortgage, protection and specialist lending sectors forward.
"We absolutely encourage everyone to get involved and brokers to have their say in our Brokers’ Vote - tell us what really matters to the adviser community so we can celebrate those who are pushing to make the industry a better place for everyone."
Tanya Elmaz, managing director of intermediary sales at Together, added: "We’re proud to sponsor the Financial Reporter Awards 2026 because this event celebrates the people who drive our industry forward. At Together, we see first‑hand the difference that passionate, knowledgeable and customer‑focused intermediaries make every day.
"Supporting the FR Awards is our way of recognising that dedication and shining a light on the individuals and firms who consistently raise the bar across the specialist finance market.
"By backing this year’s event, we’re continuing our commitment to working collaboratively with brokers and partners, and to celebrating the achievements that continue to shape a stronger, more inclusive financial landscape."
